Console Wars: Which is better

Dec 26, 2006 2:18AM PST

So far as i know, there are three kinds of gamers in the world (well 4 but I won't count them here.): Nintendo fans, Sony Fans, and Microsof Fans. Neither of them are entirely wrong or right.

These will be divided into 6 sections.

1. Nintendo: They have the amazing ability to innovate. Look at the DS and Wii! Touch screens and motion sensors! Amazing right? Your playing a first person shooter on either one. With the touch screen, you tap it and it shoots, letting you really get into the game. Withthe wii, your controller BECOMES the gun and you shoot straight through your enemy. Other than that, if you don't like the controller, you can use the gamecube controller for many of the games instead. Other than THAT it plays some odd and huge # of years of classic gamers most of who, if you counted them out now, are still alive. This helps older gamers get back to nintendo to play the games they played in there younger days like super mario world for the NES.

2. Microsoft: Having some of the most intense gfx you can find, this thing is amazing. when competing against the GC and PS2, it delivered the best performance of the three. now as a next Gen system, everything has improved and online play has never been better. The 360's controller fits nicely and is comfortable and is definately still a contender. With the amazing GFX, the 360 could very well be the best of the three.

3. Sony: beyond incredible gfx make this system one of the HUGEST MONSTERS OF CONSOLES EVER(sry for caps). it is more powerful than the 360 and could therefore pump out better gfx. They have a six-axis controller and the ps3 can play bluray for those who have HD TV's(like me Grin) and is even better for those who have a home theater w/ surround sound(like me).

4. nintendo's faults:
gfx-wise, they pail in comparison to the others
doesn't play hi-def
if i'm missing anything please inform me Grin

5. microsoft's faults:
gfx wise, almost as good as ps3(not really bad but it makes the ps3 better on that)
not much else...

6.sony's faults:
they half-assed nintendo's idea for motion-sensor controls.
doesn't play all games backwards.


If you see, i have listed most of the good sides and bad sides to all three. I have a home theatre system(10 ft wide screen) and surround sound. It plays in Hi-def too.
you'd think i'd pick the PS3 right?


WRONG!

What about Xbox?
nope.
Wii wins for me. I have alot of friends. Would you rather take your friends to your home theater to shock them out of there minds w/ high quality stuff, or have fun with them and play some tennis?
By the way, nintendo is not out. It's way in. It's outselling PS3 by a ton!
x-box fans are worried about PS3 bcause of its gfx so they put it down.
nintendo fans are constantly defending themselves and showing off what they have
sony fans are afraid that nintedo will kick their asses, so they attack nintendo. they also attack Xbox fans for attacking them.

Slightly disagree
Dec 26, 2006 4:40AM PST

I have a 360 and PS3, and I love them both, and I believe you are lacking in some of the information you post. First, im not sure if it was a typo but you said you had a "10 ft HDTV". 1 ft = 12 inches. So, you are saying you have a 120 inch tv? Maybe it is a projector, anyway, I think you are missing some key information. The wii is fun, my friend has it and i've played it but the only reason it is outselling the PS3 is because Nintendo has manufactured more. Also i would like to say that Sony didnt half *** it with the SIXAXIS controller. I personally like have an actual controller, not some television style remote control (and yes, i know they have a classic remote but that doesn't include any motion sensing technology). From my experience of all 3 consoles I'd say PS3 tops XBOX 360 which tops the Wii.

I could however understand enjoying the Wii, if I was younger and couldn't afford a real next-gen system. Of coarse, the Ps3 and 360 lack one thing. A weather channel, because every gamer needs to know the weather!(LOL)

Interesting economic statement
Dec 26, 2006 3:55PM PST

From a purely entrepreneurial standpoint, I've been quietly watching the sales of both the Wii and the PS3. While I'm sure that all three systems have great advantages and dissadvantages, the numbers seem to be telling us something. (something you seem to be missing)

You are correct when you say that the supply of Sony's PS3 is far more limited than that of Nintendo's offering. However, your conclusion about the demand for these systems is incorrect. Economics is driven by supply and demand. The limited supply of PS3s should be causing it's 3rd party sales (ebay and other such secondary sources for purchasing low quantity items) price to continue to rise as the numbers continue to dwindle. On the other hand, the Wii should be having the inverse experience, as it's supply is actually increasing.

Take a look, the opposite is true. Will this trend continue? Will Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft sell more units? That remains to be seen. The XBOX has a huge head start. But between the PS3 and the Wii, Sony is rapidly falling behind.

Good luck to both of you on defending your systems, but be careful attempting to defend any companies financial decisions.

you forgot...
Dec 27, 2006 6:37AM PST

You forgot to mention that all of the cross platform ports (so far) have looked and played better on the 360. Also, the Wii really lacks graphics wise as seen by the ugly looking port of Far Cry that was released a bit ago (check out IGN's review on it).

To me the Wii is a secondary console. I have a 360 already and will buy a Wii. I really don't see too many regular gamers only getting the Wii because although it has some cool games that can use the Wii-mote, most gamers want gritty shooters that are just better on the 360/PS3. And the 360 usually has the best FPS and shooters (see GoW/Halo), so I think the 360 + Wii is a good combo.

The argument that shooters are better on the Wii is ridiculous. Just look at the shortfalls that happened with COD3...yeah the Wiimote was great for sniping and shooting long distance but with close-quarter combat it really showed its weakness to the dual analog sticks.

And I may mention so far that the 360 has the best looking console game on the market (GoW), not PS3.

- Collapse -
What happened to real gaming?
Dec 29, 2006 9:34PM PST

Shooters are boring and used up. Gears of War is good. But not the best game ever.

Anyway, the ports looked better on the 360 because they were made for the 360. The only port that really looked THAT bad was Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii.

But yeah, I agree with you. 360+Wii is a good combo. Wii for all your motion-sensing cravings, and 360 for your graphical needs.

Wii60 FTW!

Great point
Jan 3, 2007 8:28AM PST

ya i probably should have mentioned it in the original topic that for ~ the same price you can get 360 and wii or one ps3
like you said, that way its a better deal Grin

Jan 5, 2007 5:09PM PST

Let me tell you something...

well i have some questions for the 123123213 people whos thing that wii is better than PS3...

The playstation 3 have the best Video System in the world of consoles.

The PS3 can charge more faster any video game than the other consoles.

The PS3 is bigger than the other consoles just because the ps3 have more things i mean really better things than the other consoles... Like Better Processor, better grapics video card, More memory ( HD ) and ( SDRAM ).

The PS3 have everthing imean Blu-tooh, BLu-ray, Wi-Fi, HD, Better Sound system, Full Internet Access, and other things.

The PS3 can handle the 3erd generation of games like crysis, With the new graphics engine Crytek 2, THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN.

The PS3 have MORE GAMES THAT NINTENDO.

The PS3 have All types of games, adventure, FPS, Cars, all of them.

The PS3 have Everything... all of that fcuikng things.... and more!!!! u dont what to know what we have... thas why the prices is 599$ y have 60GB of HD man you have a console with the best Video in the world... u have a console with the best processor in the world... and you wanna know something funny... the PS3 is not using at all hes system performance... is using just 60% of it Happy... we can handle all the new generations games... and the other consoles will be form part of the past. OLD!!! SYSTEMS!!! and there you have your fkucing 250$.

-------

And you guys are telling us that the Wii is better just because they have a Controller with 360Wi-Fi...COME ON!!! WAKE UP!!! dont be a dumpass DUDESSSS... I know the PS3 controllers sucks! i mean the dont have that 360Wi-Fi, and they dont have a new desing... but the PS3 is better! The size of the Console dosent mean anything! I Have a BIggg! PC Core 2 Duo 6600 Extreme with 4gb of ram and a GeForce 8800GTX and his size is BIGGG! is not a laptop but u cant get a laptop better that this PC i know what i mean?

Man the controllers can be redisings and make it 360Wi-Fi, and then what u gonna do... ? u will go buy a PS3 tehn? man the really thing is... PS3 Is the best no matther what the Nintendo fan-boys says... i like Zelda, is one of my favorites but Metal Gear! for PS... Woow! have the best history in the world lol...

I know... NINTENDO = MARIO, MARIO, MARIO, MARIO... MARICO Fkucing with hes mom, MARIO the ******* Tournament the dont know a new name for the poor mario thats the only game that they have... FOR KIDS!!!

And dont say this please!!
Nintendo Dosent matter the HD, or the Full access to Internet, or Blu-Ray, or The best video card, or the Procesor, or the best graphics because thats a bullstih man... They know the will need them because all cosoles want to make the graphics better as the time past...

I think that the Wii Sucks they dont have nothing just a controller and all the tecnology can be Buy it or Copy, but when u see the PS3 they have everything!!! everything!!! ... les the controller Sad but its ok... i think that sony will made a new one.... i think hehehehe

Sorry for my damnnn english but i think that u guys can read it. xD... Play Station 3 ! ***!! say what they say we have the more PowerFull Console! for more than 3 years or maybe 4 well i just know that wii will be OLD!! in a few years no more than 1 year... o more.. XD

is this guy for real?
Jan 10, 2007 11:01AM PST

uh....yeah.. ok
I can understand you defending the PS3 ... lord knows they need it.
Say what you want but I can walk into Best Buy TONIGHT and buy a PS3.
What does that tell you? No one cares enough about "blue ray" & "HD" to shell out that
kind of cash.
I only WISH I could get a Wii and its 2 weeks after christmas.
I will be lucky if I can get one a month from now!
You PS3 fanboys can say what you want but the Wii has it all over the PS3.
Nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank my friends.
I have already bought games for the Wii and dont even own one yet and i am sure I am not the only one who has.
Can you hear that? That's nintendo..... Ka'ching!

wow
Jan 11, 2007 1:50AM PST

i thought ninetendo dug themselves a grave with the gamecube...it was a good console, but they gave it the worst games! as for the ps3, their motion sensors are pretty dodgy so i gotta agree with you when you say they half assed it.

Not a kid
Jan 12, 2007 11:19PM PST

Maybe i need to fly out to MN mall of america to get my Wii then... oh wait that would mean leaving Texas. Forget it I'll wait.
Anyway I have stuck with Nintendo for almost 30 years ( Im not a kid) and it hasn't let me down yet.
Not even with the Game Cube.
I still have my eight bit , super nintendo , Nintendo 64 and my Cube sitting on my dresser right now they all still work too.
My Super Nintendo has a big crack in it and i have to clean the Nintendo Cartriges with a Q-tip I licked but so what.
I'm on my 3rd PS2 because its crap but they have a cpl cool games too so you've got to have one. Happy

Yeah I agree not all the games Nintendo puts out are great but niether are all the games for the other consoles either.
It seems all Sony can do are first person shooters.
Some great Wii titles are on the way

Harvest Moon
Trauma center
Fire Emblem

just to name a few.

So there is an empty spot on my dresser as I wait for my Wii to become available... Sad
When I do get one I will still keep my old concoles even though I will be able to download the old greats.
Just for nostalgia if nothing else.... and I bought the Q-tip's in bulk so i got to use them.

Consider yourself lucky that you can go and by 20 of them because you could sell them on E-bay for quite a profit if you had the money to buy them all.

Happy

Sorry about the kid, sir
Jan 14, 2007 12:15AM PST

Well man...
I had a ps2 in all my crappy life... xD but is true i can go to GameStop and buy Wii?s easy... and now the dont have more ps3?s they said yesterday that we have w8 to febrary to buy one...

One thing... all you guys are talking about GameCube as the best console, better than ps2 well i agree with that... the game cube is faster than ps2 have better graphics than ps2 and have less size than ps2... but man u cant forget that the game cube was release like 1 year or less after ps2... thats why... i have a ps3 a game cube a ps2 a nintendo 64 a PS, Nintendo, Sega, Super nintendo, and all of them still working Happy i know how to care about my things... and look about the new games coming for the Ps3 just take a look about that... we have a grates games and i think that we gonna buy the Gears of war license... so ps3 is good xD hehehehe...

man when you get the chance to see how it works the ps3 u will know what i mean when i say The ps3 have the best future in this years, dude we have all and more much than the others consoles... expect a good controller... ( but we can make one with 360Wi-fi so we dont care ) our controller sucks to much... is the same desing and it use Sixaxis Silly so it suck?s...

But man... just tell me what the wii have? better than ps3? expect the controller of course... Be a man we dont have about the size... or the price withc is better? who have the best technology inside?

look...
- The size = Big Video card, best processor, more Memory, Wi-fi, Blu-ray, blu-tooh, HD Sound ( The best ), MemoryStick?s MIDI, and more much... ( bad controller Sad )

- Price = the same man you have the best in that console ( bad controller )

- Another tip about PRICES - Here we are talking things about Sony and ps3... why the high price? thats the question... well this is another answer... When you buy a Game PC you know that kind of PC?s to play the lastes games is that world u know... i have to buy a Nice video card... the ps3 gave the best of the video cards fo the Nvidia Series 7 i mean a little 7950gt Thats the best... also you can play everything tha you want to play that video card for PC?s cost like ummm 350-390$ just the video card but at the time when they was realese the cost was 400 to 500$ USD... just a video card now the best video card in the market is a Nvidia 8800GTX = 648$ + Tax?s... Wooow no one talk stihs about NVIDIA a that price... cuz is a good price trus me is the best!!! something really good For the guys who dont know to much about Video card just take a look for 1 mnutes at the internet ( NVIDIA have the best Chipsets in the world of video cards and Motherboards )and PS3 have the best Serie 7... have the best processor... the best sound... the Hard drive, the best of all expect a controller.... but there you have your 599$ USD, man i from venezuela my family is form here MN im no a rich guy, but i knwo that 599$ is a big price you know... but see the price?s man... se the price of a good video card... or processor they are all a big prices dont you think? and you still having a console with the best... and can handle the lastes games...

What do you prefere is the future... and car who Fly or a car who run is the streets ? you know what i mean? if you buy a wii u will buy a console that in the next few years it will sucks to much cuz the grapics and other things... the happens to the PS2. But if you buy a ps3 u will not. the technology is going to fast... and the wii dosent have good things... just a good controller and that can be made. ( cuz the ps3 have wi-fi ) or the can make a new wi-fi system.

Thanks for read this... just think about it just forget all that crappy thing that the ppl talk about ps3 cuz they dont know nothing about technology they just talk about ps3grill and that kind for things and if you really have like 30-40 years old i know you can understan me Happy

Thanks again and good luck. Peace

Hmmm... With all this stuff to buy just to get good gameplay
Jan 15, 2007 5:11AM PST

I dont think any of it is worth it. I mean call me old fashioned but I am quite happy with my PC and subscription to Gametap. With all these overpriced titles and extra equipment you have to buy just to get a superb picture quality.. It all of a sudden does not seem like its worth the extra trouble.

we are all kids inside or we wouldnt be here right?.
Jan 17, 2007 9:45AM PST

I dont put alot of stock in the graphics, I like game play.
I still love the graphics of earth bound and breath of fire , & games like that.
You dont know for sure that this Blue -ray thing will take off and if it does than I'll buy a Blue ray player or whatever ( like I bought a DVD player even though I own a PS2).
Also to get the whole graphics effect you really need High def TV which I dont and most people dont have.
I appreciate your need for the finer things in life ,I for instance own 3 Mac's - there is not a PC anywhere in my house , but dude this is just gaming and though I love it and will until I draw my last breath its still a game, and the game needs to be fun it doesnt need to be flashy. Happy

and I still cant get a Wii by the way Sad

where are sony's games???
Jan 22, 2007 3:56AM PST

Well, if PS3 can play all of these next gen. games, then WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY???? I'm not a biased person against or for PS3. I have all next gen systems and i have to say that though not graphically impressive, the Wii is very fun. The X360 and PS3 both have about the same graphics for now, but the X360 has far better, and more games, which is why I prefer 360 over PS3 any day.

Well u dont even think! right?
Jan 23, 2007 5:19AM PST

Right, i know that the PS3 dont have games of new GEN right now, and the only game with the NICE's!!! graphics right now is the xbox360 with ( Gears of wars). But why? Cuz the xbox360 was realesed first a long time before the ps3 and wii but the ps3 CAN HANDLE.... More grapics than the 360 READ FORUMS READ THE specification or what ever.... The PS3 have more procesor more graphics more memory more of all... Have you hear about Crytek and Crysis ? they have a NEW GEN of ENGINE's and the only console who can handle that game Crysis at full Graphics and performance is de PS3 they have to do a new version of that game for Xbox360 with Less graphics and the wii cant even handle it... I know the Wii can be fun, but is not a big thing... like i said the Controllers can be COPY can be made by other company's but not the all system of a console. just think about it, the wii dosent have good games enither jsut Zelda but why? cuz is a new console like PS3, but if you see deep all the games for the wii are for kid's i mean this games in the actually. exept ZELDA Grin that game is good Silly i like it.

Come on read some forums, you need a Nvidia 7800GTX Video Card and the PS3 have a NVIDIA 7900GTX so... you tell me! if the ps3 cant handle the new gen of games... and maybe made a controller like the Wii i mean with the 360Wi-Fi.

When you try a good game of PS3 in a future, you will see what i'm talking about.

SILENCE!!
Jan 24, 2007 10:43AM PST

First of all the PS3 is just a waist of money right now if your looking for a good system. If you pay $600 for a system thats just as good if not worst than the xbox 360 (Right Now) you need finacial help. The PS3 only has about 10-15 games and none of them are even next gen. The xbox 360 is the best thing going right now if your a mainstream gamer. It has a excellent online multiplayer (best in the world lol), It has great games out right now GOW, Rainbow six vegas, COD3, NBA 2k7, Ect.. Plus keep in my my fellow americans HALO 3. Halo was the most sold game in the country and Bungie is saying Halo 2 was a mistake and Halo 3 is go to run marathons around both. Honestly I see why the Ps3 isn't getting any sells, if you look back in 2002 when the xbox first came out it was just like the PS3 today because it came out too late for gamers to even give it strong reconition, They were hooked on PS2. Another thing nintendo is all ways going to receive good feedback because it established the base for all games. Like the gentlemen said he's been playing nintendo for over 30 years. So you cant even argue with nintendo fans all you can do is Love em lol.

First of all u didn't read my post obviously because everything you said was not in response to me. IF YOU CAN READ! I said that the xbox 360 is the best system RIGHT NOW! for the money. Also I can tell, you are not intelligent when it comes to games because GOW is deffinitly a Next gen game DUMBA$$. And if you were smart you would know that xbox has a better line up of games coming in the future including Halo 3. Im not dissing the PS3 im just giving my opinion on why the xbox 360 is a better choice for RIGHT NOW!

Jan 26, 2007 12:35AM PST

Allright this my opinion of the console wars. I think that at the moment the Xbox 360 is the best console out there. Now im not an xbox fanboy and read the rest of my post before you start bashing microsoft. I like the Xbox 360 because its kinda in the middle. It has great graphics and has good online play. Now the ps3, i think, will eventually have better graphics than the xbox 360, but they wont be Amazing. What im trying to say is that the ps3 graphics will be better but not by much. Dont diss Sony cause you think there games suck, the system did just launch(and it was a bad one). Sony will be coming out with some grade A games in the future here a few: Lair, FFXIII, Motorstorm, Gran Turismo(but dont expect this title untill 08), Killzone. So dont diss microsoft or sony they both have thier pros and cons. I think the line up of games is pretty even for the ps3 and the xbox 360, if any side has an edge it would be ps3 because it just came out.

Jan 26, 2007 12:41AM PST

The ps3 right now is the strongest console but not the smartest to buy. And just wait till the upgraded xbox 360 comes out in mid 07 it will double the hard drive of the ps3 (60 ver). Yes, it will 120 gigs of space that blows the ps3 out the water. But really wat are you doing with all the space? lol i couild never see me filling 120 gigs but, i will find a way. I think the ps3 just costs too much and eventually it will catch on but it will be a while.

Thank U
Jan 26, 2007 11:48AM PST

I Deffinitly agree with the both of you. The Xbox 360 is the best system to buy right now because of the price and games. I also think we wont see the full power of both systems until 2008 or the end of this year.

Dude, you have to read new's
Jan 27, 2007 12:21PM PST

Well man.. i said that the xbox360 have the best games! but think about it. what is the price of the PS3 with 2GB? 499$ what is the price of a PS3 with 60GB - Wifi - Blu-ray - 1080P HD - Best cuality sounds? 599$ the xbox360 dosent have wi-fi and if you want to play in the internet i have to buy it so... what is the price of a xb0x360 with 20gb? 399$ + 100$ for the wi-fi Happy nice right?

I know that the xbox360 cant hadle the new generations of games like crysis cuz they said that... they have to redising the game for the xbox360 cuz he cant handle it. But the xbox360 is a f123sicking the best console right now cuz their games. but just right now...

you dont have to wait till the next year come, cuz you can read the specifications.... you can read what the ps3 have and xbox so you can see how big is the ps3... Happy

"Crysis may be PC only title. PS3 and Xbox360 not powerfull enough.

Game developers at E3 are expressing their disappointment in the overall power of the PS3 and Xbox360 saying that they mightn't be powerfull enough to handle the next generation of games such as Crytek Studio's up and coming first person shooter Crysis which is due to be released on the PC this winter."

dude all that are you saying is worng... i'm a fan of Far cry - Crysis(Crytek).

Crysis it will come for DirectX 9 and DirectX10 cuz the directX10 is just for Windows Vista, and not for WinXP and you can play Crysis with WinXP so... the other thing is... you need a Nvidia 7800GTX for play Crysis with full graphic's and the PS3 have a 7950GT inside! so... i saw the all Trailers and Movies of Crytek i'm in like 5 Forums just waiting for the new crytek and he never said that... he just said we are looking the way to make run Crysis on xbox360 tahts all... Crysis was made with WINXP and DirectX 9 Technology and they are Working on the DirectX 10 game. (is the samething just with directx10) Happy.

Ok your somewhat on the right track but all im saying is xbox 360 and PS3 dont support Directx 10 and they will have to make another version of Crysis which will have a little less performance than on P.C

DUDE... the xbox360 have better graphics that PS3 right now cuz they have more games than PS3, the PS3 have like 10 games! :S also they suck! just a few of them are good... but thats cuz the PS3 is a new console! not like the xbox360... the xbox360 have more time than the PS3 in the Merchant ( or wh4t ever cuz i dont know how to say it) they have like 30 tittle i dont know! they ahve more than Wii or PS3... But the PS3 have more graphics capacity! READ!!! the F.A.Q! or waht ever it says! man... Gears of War is a to damn good! game! i have a xbox360 thats why i know what i'm talking about.

And the other thing is... The PS3 can handle it... of course they have to remake 2 more version's of crysis to both of them but the PS3 can handle it at full graphics and performance like PC, but they have to make the xbox360 version with less graphics than PS3. i have read this in more than 3 Forums of crysis and Forums from ppl.

Xbox360 have better games than ps3 right now and everyone know's that... i think that the xbox360 is the best choice like every one... but this forum is about Witch is better! the PS3 - Xbox360 - Wii and i know cuz i have the PS3 and the xbox360. and the PS3 is better... also is more fastes than xbox360. but what you guys gonna say when the PS3 release all their New and Best games! ? that the xbox360 have better graphics and performance? so go away man! truely!

Actually, the playstation 3's motion sensing controller is a lot more advanced than the wii's, so they didn't really copy them. also, through the system update of the ps3, it has bedcome backwards compatible with nearly the entire libray of 10000+ ps games.

microsoft did a great job, but the backwards compatibility on the 360 is poor. you can only play the more popular games (ex: halo) through a driver download.
